A Zealous Defense Against Felony DUI/OUI/DWI Charges

Felony drunk driving charges are serious matters. Unlike first offense DUI or second offense DUI, the prosecution will often pursue penalties to the fullest extent of the law, which include:

Up to five years in prison for a third or subsequent drunk driving offense

Fines up to $15,000 for a third offense, up to $25,000 for a fourth offense, or up to $50,000 for a fifth DUI/OUI/DWI offense

Eight-year license suspension for a third drinking and driving offense, a 10-year suspension for a fourth offense, or lifetime suspension for a fifth offense

Sometimes, however, the police simply get it wrong. Massachusetts drunk driving law is very technical. One procedural error can affect the prosecution’s entire case. Our Boston felony DUI lawyers know the technical aspects of Massachusetts law and will do all they can to challenge the DUI arrest and its consequences. We will provide the zealous representation you require.
